Did you know? "Most major cities in the US have at least one large item pick up day. I remember my first years out on my own and literally making trip after trip to fill my home with everything from dining room chairs to dishes. It's amazing what people set out on those days."

"Most often when a commercial property is bought, they'll hire someone to clean the space out for them. There's always a dumpster with at least one piece of hardware or fixture that could be put to use — often times you'll find chairs or even artwork. Watch for empty spaces with windows you can see in. If you see someone in a property with something inside you'd like, don't be afraid to stop and ask for it if you see a sign of life!"
